(AERA),
is now accepting article submissions. The publication is the first open

   and Jacquelynne Eccles
   <http://www.aeramail.org/l.jsp?d=1279.106073.78.5qEcBQrTGBtuQ96tHawEXig..A>

In the journal’s inaugural editorial
<http://www.aeramail.org/l.jsp?d=1279.106072.78.5qEcBQrTGBtuQ96tHawEXig..A>,
Warschauer, Duncan, and Eccles describe what a truly “open” journal means.
In addition to being open and accessible to a broad audience, *AERA Open*
is open to diverse authors, disciplines, and contexts, and to inspection
and replication studies.

Through *AERA Open,* the editors note that they “seek to promote strong
education research; strengthen the ties between researchers, policy makers,
and practitioners; and foster greater international communication and
collaboration in education scholarship.”

“With the launch of *AERA Open, *AERA continues its leadership role in
scholarly open access publishing,” said AERA Executive Director Felice J.
Levine. “We are eager to open the submission system for AERA’s newest
journal, which we anticipate will become a venue for innovation, data
sharing, and connections across interdisciplinary arenas of inquiry.”

As with AERA’s other six journals, SAGE
<http://www.aeramail.org/l.jsp?d=1279.106071.78.5qEcBQrTGBtuQ96tHawEXig..A> is
publishing *AERA Open* on behalf of AERA—and is similarly committed to this
effort as AERA’s publishing partner.

“*AERA Open* will cross disciplinary and geographical boundaries to make
significant advances in global education research,” said Bob Howard, Vice
President of Journals, SAGE. "We are confident in the exceptional editorial
team put together by AERA and are delighted to be serving as the journal's
publisher."

The submission site for *AERA Open* is on the ScholarOne platform
